YAVAPAI COUNTY PLANNING AND ZONING ORDINANCE Page 86 A Certificate of Compliance demonstrating completion of improvement(s), as may be specified in the plan, must be issued prior to the use of the facility. Those uses subject to Administrative Review with Comment Period must go through the following process. The applicant will submit a to-scale site plan illustrating the proposed use for review. The administrative review would include review by all affected agencies such as but not necessarily limited to Floodplain, Land Use, Environmental, Building Safety and the Fire District with jurisdiction. Surrounding property owners of the subject property and affected community organizations shall be notified by mail as provided in Section 209 (Citizen Participation) D.1 and the property shall be posted and the noticed public shall be given twenty-one (21) days from the date of mailing of notice to file written protest with the Development Services Director. If an Administrative Review with Comment Period application is denied by the Department, the applicant may then apply for a Use Permit, and appeal the decision before the Commission and the Board, if desired. If the application for Administrative Review with Comment Period is found acceptable by the reviewing agencies with no written protest received from the noticed public, the Development Service Director will accept and issue appropriate or needed building permits and/or issue a letter approving the use subject to applicable standards. Application fees are as found in the adopted fee schedule. A. In order to qualify for an exemption from zoning regulations as property used for “grazing or general agricultural purposes” the property must meet each of the following standards: 1. The property is at least five (5) contiguous commercial acres in size. (A commercial acre is thirty-six thousand (36,000) square feet.) 2. The primary use of and investment in the property is directed toward production of agricultural products through agronomy, horticulture or animal husbandry (‘exempt purposes’). 3. The property is intended for, and is reasonably capable of, producing a normal profit through exempt purposes. 4. The primary function of the property is to produce an agricultural crop or commodity and is found by the County Assessor to be a qualifying agricultural property in accordance with the Arizona Department of Revenue Agricultural Manual. B. Property used primarily for residential, commercial or recreational purposes, on which livestock or agricultural production is incidental, including hobby farms or ranches, horse acres, cabin sites or forestry tracts does not qualify for exemption. Property cultivated on a supplement or part- time basis, such as mini-farms or gardens not capable of economic self-sufficiency on the basis of agricultural use, generally do not qualify for an exemption. C. An exemption granted the property owner, is open to review and may be cancelled at any time upon a determination by the Land Use Specialist that the property no longer meets the standards of Paragraph A. D. Application for initial exemption or for renewal of an existing exemption shall be made on forms provided by the Development Services Department. The Land Use Specialist will evaluate each application for compliance with the standards set forth in this Section.
